DUNNO WHERE TO START WITH THIS SO I MIGHT AS WELL JUST GET ON WITH IT.THIS IS THE ACTUAL GUITAR FROM THE MADNESS VIDEO FOR THEIR SINGLE "It Must Be Love" where the guitar was played under the water in a swimming pool!  Ive got full provenance for it to prove it is the guitar.  The letter also explains how the paint damage got to be on the body.  After Stiff Records had hired the guitar the hire company wouldn't take it back. It then went into the ownership of Nigel Dick, here's his Wikipedia entry.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_DickI bought it from him.  I'm pleased to say the guitar works perfectly nowadays, last time I used it was at HELLFEST in France last year which is a BIG Punk and Metal Festival, in front of 15,000 people.  It sounds awesome, has an amazing provenance and it's all good to go.Please check out my other listings for rare and interesting guitars. All guitars I have listed are available to see and try in Eastbourne, East Sussex.INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE QUOTED BELOW IS FOR EUROPE ONLY. MPLEASE ASK FOR PRICES FOR OTHER DESTINATIONS.

I've got full provenance as proof from Nigel Dick himself.
